Well, I’m saying this as someone who installed it on gf’s t510 and only tried .mkv files (which gstreamer has problems with quite apart from vaapi). I’ve had success in the past using the nvidias blob along with the vaapi to vdpau package and custom pipelines.
Including a working gst-vaapi for fedora would be great since it shouldn’t infringe on the oss philosophy and would give you out of the box support (if your gpu supports acceleration) for several common formats (a huge ease of use win for fedora).

Wed, 25 May 2011 21:03:08 +0000http://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/?p=1534#comment-5432There’s a gstreamer-vaapi out there that could be packaged into Fedora if anyone wanted to do it, I might at some point. every time I ever actually tried to use it it just black screened, but that may have been some Poulsbo-specific quirk.

Wed, 25 May 2011 14:23:51 +0000http://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/?p=1534#comment-5430You can make mutli-monitor work with GNOME Shell more pleasant by turning off /desktop/gnome/shell/windows/workspaces_only_on_primary GConf key.

And seeing d2kx’s question, what’s the status of QuickSync (en/de)coder engine in latest Intel Core i5/i7 CPUs? Is it available through VAAPI or else?

Wed, 25 May 2011 13:28:51 +0000http://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/?p=1534#comment-5429I too loaded it this morning.
I’m a fan of GNOME – but I always change the top bar and move it to the bottom.
I couldn’t find anyway of moving the bar in GNOME 3 which is putting me off (unless its me just not being very familiar with it).
Apart from that, to me it looks like UNITY, which I didn’t like.
However I plan to put it on my Laptop just so I can get used to it.

Wed, 25 May 2011 13:19:02 +0000http://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/?p=1534#comment-5428What is the state of Gstreamer utilizing VA-API/VDPAU? Anyone knows? It’s quite important imho.
